About migration from KUMA

This section covers the migration from KUMA standalone to Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. Please note that the provided scenario refers to a situation, where you perform an initial Kaspersky Next XDR Expert installation along with the migration of existing KUMA standalone. If you already have a deployed instance of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert, you will not be able to migrate KUMA standalone with the respective data by following this scenario.

You must migrate data from KUMA 3.0.3. If you are using an earlier version, you have to update KUMA standalone up to 3.0.3, and then perform the migration to Kaspersky Next XDR Expert.

You can perform the migration for the following types of KUMA standalone deployment:

• Installation on a single server.
• Distributed installation.
• Distributed installation in a high availability configuration.

Migration implies two stages:

1. Migrating KUMA standalone to Kaspersky Next XDR Expert.
2. Running the migrator to transfer data.

After you complete both stages, the transferred data and services are available. All services of KUMA standalone are configured for operating as a part of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. Also, the transferred services are restarted.

What is transferred

• The /opt/kaspersky/kuma/core/data directory.
• The encryption key file /opt/kaspersky/kuma/core/encryption/key.
• The MongoDB base backup.
• Hierarchy of Kaspersky Security Center administration servers.

  The administration servers that migrate to Kaspersky Next XDR Expert become bound to its root Administration Servers.

• Tenants.

  The migrated tenants are registered in Kaspersky Next XDR Expert and become a child of the Root tenant. Each tenant belongs to an administration group in Kaspersky Next XDR Expert.

  To migrate Kaspersky Security Center Administration Servers, domain users, and their roles, create a configuration file, and then set necessary parameters in this file.

• Binding of tenants to Kaspersky Security Center Administration Servers.

  The secondary administration server of Kaspersky Security Center is registered in the corresponding service of the tenant settings of Kaspersky Security Center.

  A link between a tenant and an Administration Server remains the same as it was in KUMA.

  You can bind tenants only to physical Administration Servers. Binding tenants to virtual Administration servers is unavailable.

• Domain users.

  For each domain with which the KUMA integration is configured, and which users have assigned roles in KUMA tenants, you must run domain controller polling by using Administration Server.

• Roles.

  After domain controller polling is finished and the domain users are migrated, these users are assigned XDR roles in Kaspersky Next XDR Expert and the right to connect to Kaspersky Security Center.

  If the migrated users had the assigned roles in secondary administration server of Kaspersky Security Center, you have to assign to these users the same roles in the administration group of its root Administration Server.

  If you manually assigned XDR roles and/or Kaspersky Security Center roles to the users before running the migrator, after migration is finished, the users are assigned new XDR roles in the tenant specified in the configuration file and the manually assigned XDR roles are deleted. Kaspersky Security Center roles are not overwritten.

• Integration with Kaspersky Security Center.
• Integration with LDAP and third-party systems remain available.
• Events.
• Assets.
• Resources.
• Active services

What is not transferred

• Alerts and incidents are not be available in Kaspersky Next XDR Expert after migration. If you want to have original alerts and incidents at hand, we recommend that you restore KUMA backup on an individual host. This way, you will be able to perform a retrospective scanning.
• Dashboards are not transferred and remain available only in KUMA standalone in the read only mode, you will not be able to go over to the related alerts.

  Integration with Active Directory (AD) and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
